I have been in countless low-end bars over my lifetime and all over the country, and conspiracies and urban legends are a constant in them
I can’t tell you how many guys whose uncle knew the guy who built the carburetor that ran on water and was killed by General Motors/Ford I have met in dive bars around the United States, along with many more tales of whatever the conspiracies were of the period.
You have to be able to sift through the drunk talk to pick up useful nuggets.😀 Unfortunately, I’m usually just as bad off as the target!😎
